Independent professional guidance
Looking for an interventionist—not a treatment-center admissions department?
The Firm is an independent intervention and family-consulting practice. Darren Hobbs, CIP, and Zach Livingston, CIP, CCMI, are named professional interventionists. The assigned team assesses the family’s situation, prepares participants, leads the intervention when appropriate, and evaluates treatment options according to the individual’s needs.
Treatment-center admissions teams determine whether someone fits their program. An independent interventionist helps the family assess the larger situation, prepare an appropriate intervention, and compare treatment options beyond one provider.
A better plan can start with one conversation.
